In this video, I will show you how to set up Policy Based Routing with pfSense based on destination. A destination can be a URL, hostname, FQDN, or even complete networks based on IP ranges or ASNs. I will show you how to set this up using aliases I create with the pfBlockerNG package on pfSense. To read more about using aliases on pfSense, click here. I am using pfSense 2.7.2 to do this, but the same idea applies to other versions of pfSense.
